Chicago, USA



A complete train wreck.

The Jerry Springer show isn't high culture. You pretty much know what to expect the second that you walk in the door. That being said, it's impossible to truly understand the absolute depravity of the human condition that exists on that show.

The people on stage are not the real attraction. It's the audience members.

Tattoos on necks. A complete disregard for cleanliness and decency. Obese retarded people.

We sat in front of a homeless vagrant who kept belching and singing.

I still have no idea what the show was about.

There was plenty of fighting. Plenty of public nudity. Plenty of interventions waiting to happen.

But in the end, it was rather boring. Because you expect the unexpected... there's no surprise. It's all ridiculous. All absurd. All predictable.

Jerry Springer has been doing this show for 17 years now. I have no idea how he does it with a straight face.

I guess it's easier than being mayor.
